Atmosphere’s Slug and Anberlin’s Stephen Christian Join Samantha Maloney on New Episode of All Access

Sam also heads South to the Memphis Beale Street Festival for food, music, and mischief

Samantha Maloney has toured the world drumming for Hole and Motley Crue, produced scores for films including Black Hawk Down, and acted on the silver screen. Now, the sexiest drummer on the rock music scene is taking her talents to web television with maniaTV's new show, All Access. Samantha, along with maniaTV senior music producer and MTV veteran, Amy Finnerty have created a behind-the-scenes show that will take viewers inside the life of major artists and showcase the best new acts in music. 

 

In this week’s episode, Samantha spends some quality time with Stephen Christian (lead singer of Anberlin), who challenges her to a friendly game of Rock Band and brings her along for a ride to the dog park. The episode then progresses from an intimate setting to a boisterous block party as Samantha heads south to the Beale Street Festival in Memphis, Tennessee. Sam joins the crowd as they enjoy cold drinks, listen to good music, and proclaim their religious values. To end the show, Samantha joins hip hop artist ‘Slug’ of Atmosphere, to talk about what it’s like debuting at # 5 on the Billboard charts, and why he’s made the decision to grow his hair long.
